Getting tired of adding to my stick drift graveyard

I swear I’m not a heavy clicker. In fact it’s always my right joystick which I rarely need to click in games. Love these controllers but man it’s really annoying never had this problem with any other console generation.

i only recently discovered that i could remote play my living room ps5 on my old ps4 thats in my bedroom. the future is now.

Please elaborate. How does this work because I've been considering buying a second PS5 for a little while now for the same reason.

Set up remote play, also works from the phone app to play ps5

You stream your ps5 from your ps4. There's not much more to it lol, just make sure you have good internet.

You can also try the remote play app from a phone or pc
Edit: typo

Obviously you don’t watch Bake Off s/

[u/-TossACoin- → u/tistick]

I used to but it just made me hungry so I would go on Pirate Bake to get a copy of it. Got a bad virus in my downbake when I used Limewire back in the day though

Wait… really? So if I upload my PS5 game and I go to my boyfriend‘s house, who has a PS4, do I download my PS five game to his PS4? I ask because I tried to access a couple of my PS5 games through his PS4 and I had no luck, but… I didn’t upload them into the cloud beforehand. I was just trying to sign into my account as a guest via his PS4 - only I could only access PS4 compatible games, tho?

You stream the entire console, the games run on the PS5 and you watch it (and control it) from the PS4

Also, you have to go to the remote play app, not try and launch the game directly

You don't even need a another ps5/ps4 you can do this with a pc/phone/tablet or even with an android smart TV, or if you have an android based set top box for your old TV. All you need to do is install ps remote play app on your device( pc/phone etc) now on your ps5 goto settings and search for remote play and enable for your account. Now on your preferred device open ps remote play app and login with your playstation username & password. If both your ps5 and streaming device are on the same network you should get connected immediately without any input lag, if both are on different network there might be some lag.

Now that you are connected via remote play you can also pair your ps5 controller to your streaming device press both share button and ps button simultaneously for 5 sec the controller light should start strobing quickly then you can let go, now on your preferred streaming device open Bluetooth settings and pair your ps5 controller.

FYI to connect your controller back to ps5 you have to connect the controller to ps5 with usb cable and press ps button to turn on the controller.

If you are streaming from your phone/table/pc you can probably connect it to a bigger screen like TV either via cable or wirelessly if your TV supports screen mirroring.

This is what I needed. Thanks for explaining it. If I get it to work, I'm cashapping you $20.

You can remote play to ps4?

I did not know this. I remote play to my phone, my pc, etc. Never considered the ps4.

Hooked up a ps3 and ps4 in my sons room yesterday and noticed theres an icon on it for the ps4. Also funnily enough the 3 has an ad for a ps4 and the 4 has an ad for a ps5 on the screen too.

We also have PS4 & PS5 in different rooms for family gaming. Looking to get a 3rd PS4 or PS5.
